Ch 1 - Intro Flashcards
Obesity
30+ lbs overweight; BMI 30+
Overweight
25-30 lbs overweight; BMI 25-29.9
Muscle imbalance
alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
Deconditioned
state of lost fitness (muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, lack of core and joint stability)
Proprioception
sensory input to CNS from mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement
Proprioceptively-enriched environment
unstable situation for exercises that causes body to use internal balance and stabilization mechanisms
Forms of training - 7
Flexibility, Cardiorespiratory, Core, Balance, Plyometric (reactive), SAQ (speed, agility, quickness), Resistance
OPT Levels (3)
Stabilization, Strength, Power
OPT Phases
Stabilization endurance, Strength endurance, Hypertrophy, Maximal strength, Power
Muscular endurance
muscle’s ability to contract for an extended period
Neuromuscular effeciency
ability of neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion (coordination)
Superset
two exercises done back-to-back
Prime mover
muscle that’s the inital and main source of motive power
Rate of force production
ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in minimal time
